Case Study: PatSnap achieves 50% cost reduction and doubles product iteration speed with Amazon Web Services

PatSnap - Customer Case Study

PatSnap is a global patent-search, analysis, and management platform founded in 2007 that helps customers track technological advances and identify innovation trends. After a costly local IDC server outage, the company needed reliable, secure, and globally distributed infrastructure with centralized management and faster product iteration to meet the needs of its international customer base.

PatSnap migrated fully to AWS across multiple regions and adopted services such as CloudFormation, Amazon VPC, AWS WAF, DynamoDB, S3/Glacier, Data Pipeline, and others to automate deployment, secure data, and scale on demand. The move cut costs dramatically (20% lower upfront and ~50% annual O&M savings), halved time-to-market (from one month to two weeks), doubled sales in 2016, and delivered stronger reliability, security, and faster innovation.
